Hello Affinity Designer practitioners, How to explain? I overlaid a complex curve onto a border (another curve). I need to trim the complex curve and then connect the trimmed curve to the border curve. When I try to break the complex curve (to eliminate the parts I don't want), I get a situation where the fill no longer corresponds to the stroke. It's all over the place. When this happens, it's clear to me that the integrity of the curve is gone. I'm using this technique: selecting a node or nodes and clicking "break curves" in the context tool bar. I was able to do this successfully one time, before all hell broke loose (see detail shot). I'm not expecting anyone to solve this problem for me, but perhaps guide me in how to think about the problem so I can solve it. The context is I am making a drawing that will be converted to a DXF file, and used to laser cut decorative panels out of sheet metal on a computer-driven laser cutter in India. I am way over my head here… thanks in advance. I am remembering that I failed to say thanks to the people that helped me on a previous question. I was unable to use that feedback directly, but it l led me to a workaround. So I do want to say thanks. Thanks! Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Hey! Hope you all are doing well! First Thanks for all that you all do and are working towards! Thanks for providing the community with a great and constantly improving program. After using Affinity Designer, there are a few things from utilizing a tablet and the program that I think would benefit user experience and workflow. - Tablet Options When utilizing a tablet. Having some availability options to change and set keys with the tablets through the app would be great. Also, shape/pressure options within the application as well. I suppose more enhanced support when it comes to tablets. - Expanding stroke. When utilizing this, it seems to over compensate on the strokes causing bigger unproportioned (To the original stroke) shapes and makes it difficult to combine/merge the layers to one full layer. -Dividing shapes. When using this, If there could be an option with how many duplicates it makes. It divides and cuts out all the parts, but it does it by doubling up the parts and i end up having to shift around layers to get it to its original state to start working again. Hope this one makes sense. Ill attach examples. Again thanks for what you all do and are developing there at Serif Labs!
